Absurd Person Singular

Absurd Person Singular at Stoke Repertory Theatre

A holiday spectacle where the absurd is the norm, and the laughter is as abundant as the Christmas spirit.

Why see Absurd Person Singular?

The Stoke Rep Players Do Christmas!

Stoke Rep Players return for their brilliant production of Alan Ayckbourn's festive comedy that peeks into three kitchens, where three couples, each with their own quirks, navigate the highs and lows of the holiday season. Comedy and calamity reign in this thought-provoking and entertaining classic, playing out from December 10th to 14th at the Stoke Rep Theatre.

What is the story?

Following three couples across three Christmas Eves, the action plays out in three parts:

'Last' Christmas: Join the ambitious Hopcrofts as they host a party that is equally as manipulative as it is merry.

'This' Christmas: Welcome to the Jackson's, where a fraying marriage and a boisterous dog set the stage for holiday pandemonium. 

'Next' Christmas: The Brewster-Wrights' stately home becomes the backdrop for a festive fiasco, courtesy of the uninvited Hopcrofts.
